Sorry for dropping the F-bomb in a headline, kiddos, but there’s no other word that can really describe the evil turd-droppings who proudly admit and celebrate that they would drag a 14-year-old girl off of her school bus and shoot her in the head and neck for having the temerity to speak up about her passion to receive an education equal to those of the boys in her country.

FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK!  Where is my colleague Flying ChainSaw to help me articulate the ARRRRRGGGGGHHH inside of me at the news?

Best wishes to Malala Yousafzai, may you heal soon.

And can someone explain why our country dumps billions of dollars in the shithole known as Pakistan?

/SFL is now returning to vigorously petting dogs, shaking up delicious martinis, neurotically monitoring election polls in Ohio,  muttering/shaking her paw at the world, and planning emigration to New Zealand.

“I think we have a very clear path to victory, and apparently Claire McCaskill thinks we do, too, because she was very aggressive at the debate, which was quite different than it was when she ran against Jim Talent.

Yesterday it was Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), comparing the date of 8/1/12 with 9/11 and December 7 (Pearl Harbor Day for those of you still not fully awake).

Why?

Not because it would have been Jerry Garcia’s 70th birthday, but because it’s the day that the Affordable Care Act’s provisions went into effect requiring insurance companies provide preventative reproductive health care services to women, including free pap smears and equity in coverage of contraceptives.  Beware of the terrorist vagina avengers, all freshly cleaned and protected from unwanted pregnancies, out to attack AmeriKKKah.

Damn, what’s a similar action-verb that starts with L and means “gone” so I could have perfect alliteration?

Yeah, I can’t think of something right now. So meanwhile from Stinque’s Dep’t of To Be A Vagina-American Today/Dep’t of Lady-Bits/Dep’t You Have to Be Fucking Kidding Me, I Will Now Return to Book 2 of The Hunger Games and the Giants Baseball Game Before Researching Emigration to New Zealand:
